Repression and suppression=depression. Whether your depression is rooted in recent trauma, or has been a long term challenge, assessing how you feel, determining your triggers, and developing coping strategies with the help of a caring, experienced professional will make the difference in your quality of life. Combining psychotherapy and hypnosis is sometimes the key to changing the way that you look at life. I can help.

Carol Garfinkle, Psy.D.

Clinical Psychologist

While external circumstances and biology definitely can affect our moods, so can our underlying beliefs about ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to teach people how to explore their feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Once we become more connected safely to ourselves, our connection with the external world begins to change too. We may also look at changing diet and exercise, find ways to balance work, play and rest so you can feel replenished and nurture what is meaningful in your life.

Leigh-Ann Larson, M.Ed., LMHC

Depression is a real medical problem. Research has shown that depression is best treated with a combination of counseling and medical intervention. I will help you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as work closely with your Primary Care Physician or refer you for a medication evaluation if we decide together that this is something that you would benefit from.

Michelle Pressma, LICSW

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

A common understanding is that depression is anger turned inward. I help the client understand the sources of their depression, both biological and environmental, and build on their strengths as well as build new sources of identity to cope with the depression. In this process I am helping them create a toolbox to survive difficult emotion and strengthen their core self. This might include mindfulness work, grief work, reframing their personal narratives, coaching around new life habits and activities, learning how to set small goals for themselves, and examining the typical roles they play in their relationships, including the examination of these typical roles for satisfaction.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

Naomi Korn, LicSW, BCD

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I can help you explore the history of your depression, whether it is situational, short term response to stress, or long term which needs to be evaluated for chemical imbalance factors. Talk therapy has been shown to be effective and long term talk therapy has been identified in a large client study as most effective when clients are asked what helped. I can help you to identify your unique childhood and family history experiences and how to desensitize, reprocess and learn to shift what doesn't work to more effective coping strategies. Homework and journalling are used to track your progress.

Marjorie Siegel, LICSW

Clinical Social Worker

Depression can be very frightening and dangerous. It takes many forms and requires sensitive and flexible treatment. I work with people who are depressed to understand the ways in which behaviors that are efforts to find relief can compound their suffering, for example crawling into bed or seeking comfort from substances like food, alcohol, street and prescription drugs. Together we develop resources that are more effective and reliable means of improving their disordered mood both as short and long term solutions. Over time, I work with people to understand their vulnerability to depressive episodes and find strategies to minimize their intensity and recurrence.

Feeling hopeless, worthless, joyless, without choices or chances is a desperate way to be. Maybe you feel this way every winter. Maybe a certain situation has you overwhelmed. Could be midlife hormones, or maybe you can't point to any clear cause at all. Depression has ahold of you. My approach is to find and treat the cause, and help you confront the traumas, people, suppressed angers and prolonged disappointments that contribute to this suffering. You'll learn effective mood management tools, and I'll help you accelerate the ability to recognize what routinely triggers depression in you. Therapy will help you create a well of resilience. Let's start today.
